MARSEILLE

Known as the heart of the Mediterranean, Marseille is the oldest city in France. It is a dynamic city; as cosmopolitan now as when it was first founded as an international shipping port some 2,600 years ago. The city is a showpiece: a medley of brilliant white stone rising above a picture perfect seaport framed by enormous neo-Byzantine churches. The winding alleyways of the old town reveal ancient buildings that await your discovery. Marseilles is also well known for its beaches, for its 35 miles of gorgeous coastline. A dynamic creative centre for musicians, filmmakers, theatre directors and fashion
and furniture designers it is an exciting place to visit. Marseille, is often thought of as a series of small neighbourhoods, each with its own unique history and traditions. Some are renowned for their beaches (La Vielle Chapelle), some for the famous artists who were inspired there (L'Estaque for Cezanne and Braque) and still others for their charming harbours (La Vallon des Auffes, La Pointe Rouge, Le Vieux Port). Visit the Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Cathedral, the Museum of the Roman Docks, the town hall, Chateau d'If (mentioned in The Count of Monte Cristo) and much more.
